Press Release - Black Iron Inc. (BKI-TSXV)

The reason why Black Iron is such a compelling investment is that iron ore is all about moving large volumes of material at low cost, and in order to do that you need infrastructure, rail, port, and power to be specific. In our case we are only two kilometers away from the state-owned rail and power lines. We already have a letter from the government committing at least 10 million tonnes capacity on that rail that takes you down to one of five ports on the Black Sea that are within 140 kilometers... - Matthew Simpson (BKI) (Interview published May 6, 2011)

Black Iron Successfully Test Produces Iron Ore Pellets from Its Shymanivske Project

- Tests Confirm Ore from the Shymanivske Project Could Make A Commercial Quality Iron Ore Pellet - Pellets Produced Are High Quality Containing 65% Iron With 5% Silica and 0.001% Sulphur

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 11, 2011) - Black Iron Inc. ("Black Iron" or the "Company") (TSX:BKI)(FRANKFURT:BIN) is pleased to report the results of initial independent pelletizing trials conducted by Mekhanobrchermet Laboratories ("MCM") in Kryiviy Rih, Ukraine on iron ore from Black Iron's Shmanivske project.

The results demonstrate that pellets made from Shymanivske ore meet or exceed all of the necessary chemical and physical characteristics of commercial-grade iron ore pellets.

After pelletization, the pellets returned the following chemical analysis:

Iron (Fe) content

65%

Silica (SiO2) content

5%

Sulphur (S) content

0.001%

George Mover, Chief Operating Officer of Black Iron, commented, "These initial results are encouraging. The pellets produced satisfy all of the main physical characteristics for commercial pellets including high iron grade and contaminant levels well below acceptable cut offs. The data generated by MCM is expected to serve as a springboard for BBA and Hatch to use in their further development of the pellet plant flowsheet and cost estimates, which is one of two project development options being evaluated for our upcoming PEA/Scoping Study due in the fourth quarter of this year."

The process used to complete the small scale pellet production, as well as the quality assurance and quality control parameters, were developed by MCM independent of Black Iron. Additional process design and analysis will be required should the Company decide to commercialize iron ore pellets from Shymanivske. Black Iron anticipates reviewing this initial pelletizing data in conjunction with the ongoing PEA/Scoping Study. If Black Iron decides to move forward with the pelletizing option, it may conduct pilot scale pellet production to confirm the commercial viability of iron ore pellets. The Company remains encouraged by preliminary data that suggests that a premium quality iron ore pellet is possible using the Shymanivske ore.
